Parts of web pages not loading correctly

microsoft.public.internetexplorer.general

Using IE 7 on Windows XP system. All of a sudden some screens are not
displaying properly. For example, http://www.msnbc.msn.com/ should have a
one-inch high color banner at the top of the page along with links to
various tv show links. It also contains their nbc logo, the peacock.
However, on this machine the top banner has no color or graphic images --
just a white background with the links to the other sites; and a search box.
Other, but not all, web sites have the same plain header, like abcnews, etc.
The remaining part of the page is close, but not exactly the same as the
"correctly displayed images" seen on other PCs.

While I am proficient with PCs and their settings, I am not educated to
website construction, Java, Active X. I have checked every setting I can
find but nothing I've tried works to get these headers to appear correctly.
In fact, I'm not sure that the problem is related to Java, Active X, or
what. I did install the latest Java version without any changes to the web
screens. So, I don't have a clue as to how to fix this annoying problem to
enjoy the correct web images.

Don,
Thank you! This sounds logically what the problem is. Now can you give me
an example of a third-party program that may be the guilty party? Any way I
can search for a specific term within a file that is causing the blockage?
The computer in question is new and belongs to my neighbor. She has had
some programs (mostly games, and most recently MS Office 2003) added to her
PC by others, and also an anti-virus program called Kaspersky, of which I
have no knowledge. But maybe it has properties set to filter out that type
of page content? If you can tell me what to look for, I do follow
instructions pretty well.

Thanks again for any help you can suggest!
Kathy

I have seen theis on several system - operating systems or browser version does not seem to manner. I am still trying to figure out why this is occuring and how to fix it without resetting everything.

However that being said if you reset all your browser settings to factory defaults (you have to do it twice for it to work) it resolve the issue. Unfortunity it also deletes your history, setttings, home pages and deafult search providers so if that is OK then reset Internet Browers setting under Internet Options Advance Tab. Remember doing this twice is the key. The first time you reset it does not always work the second time is the charm.

If I figure out an easier way or why this is occuring I will return with anoter post.
